Key Capabilities
Analogue and Network Audio Bridge
The AXIS C8110 connects analogue audio equipment with Axis network audio systems, making it useful for migration projects where existing speakers or amplifiers need to remain in place while IP-based audio functionality is added gradually and cost-effectively.
IP Functionality for Analogue Speaker Systems
When used with analogue speakers, the bridge can add network audio benefits such as scheduling, zoning and prioritisation. This helps extend the life of existing speaker infrastructure while introducing smarter control and event-based audio workflows.
Analogue Audio Source Integration
When used with Axis network speakers, the AXIS C8110 can accept analogue audio sources such as music players, computers, professional music streaming boxes or other audio equipment, helping organisations combine traditional audio inputs with modern network speaker systems.
SIP, VAPIX and ACAP Support
Open standard support allows the device to integrate with IP phone systems, Axis cameras, third-party applications and event-driven automation. This makes it suitable for voice announcements, camera-triggered messages, access control workflows and system-wide notification use.
I/O Ports for Buttons and Relays
I/O ports allow external buttons, relays and other compatible devices to be connected for additional functionality. This can support mute buttons, manual announcement triggers, alarm integration, access control events and site-specific automation workflows.
Key Features
Combines Analogue and Network Audio: The AXIS C8110 is designed to bridge existing analogue audio equipment with Axis network audio systems. This makes it practical for organisations that want to upgrade their public address system without immediately replacing every existing speaker, amplifier or audio input.
Smart Hybrid Audio Migration: The device supports hybrid audio system design, allowing analogue speakers and network speakers to work together. This is useful for staged upgrades, multi-building projects and sites where some areas are ready for network audio while others still rely on analogue infrastructure.
AXIS Audio Manager Edge Built In: AXIS Audio Manager Edge enables zone management, scheduling and content prioritisation directly within the audio system. This helps ensure the right content is sent to the right speakers at the right time, improving everyday announcements and urgent message delivery.
AXIS Audio Manager Center Support: For organisations with multiple sites, AXIS Audio Manager Center can support centralised coordination of audio systems. This is valuable for retail chains, campuses, schools, public facilities and businesses that need consistent audio management across different locations.
SIP Phone System Integration: SIP support allows announcements to be delivered through IP telephone systems and SIP-enabled communication workflows. This enables staff to make live voice announcements from compatible phones or communication hubs, improving public address flexibility.
VAPIX and ACAP Open Platform: VAPIX and ACAP support gives integrators flexibility to connect the audio bridge with Axis cameras, analytics, event rules and partner applications. This helps create intelligent audio workflows, such as camera-triggered announcements or automated warnings based on surveillance events.
I/O Ports for External Control: I/O ports allow external buttons, relays and devices to be connected for extra functionality, such as muting the system, triggering an announcement or activating a relay. This makes the AXIS C8110 adaptable to site-specific operational and safety requirements.
PoE Installation: Power over Ethernet allows the device to receive power and data through one network cable, helping simplify installation and reduce power cabling requirements. This is especially useful when adding network audio capability to existing communication rooms or equipment areas.
Compatible with Microphone Solutions: The AXIS C8110 can be combined with compatible Axis microphones such as AXIS TU1002-VE Microphone Kit and selected Axis 3.5mm microphone options. This helps add microphone input, audio monitoring and intelligent audio workflows where supported by the full system design.
Cost-Efficient Audio Upgrade: By allowing existing analogue audio infrastructure to gain network functionality, the AXIS C8110 helps reduce the need for complete system replacement. This makes it a practical upgrade path for public address, background music, announcements and event-triggered audio.
